Are antiinflamatory antianabolic too?

[FleshGod]

I was going to put a homemade green tea in my training drink. Then I have remembered somebody saying that after training, you want pro inflammatory response in the muscles, as the inflammation is a marker for the body to start building muscle.

That guy says that if you take an antiinflamatory (like vitamin c, NAC or green tea) you reduce this signaling and therefore the muscle building

Is that correct?

Would you include aspiring too as not suitable before and after training?

I alro remember a guy calling to take arachidonic acid (not sure about the name) as is quite inflamatory and helps build muscle. What´s your take on this?

You’re talking about fractions of a % of progress when you’re filled full of anabolic hormones. Is there fact to it? Likely. Is it worth worrying about? Unlikely. Aside from taking daily meds you don’t need, i wouldn’t worry. NAC has dozens of other uses to cast it aside simply because it slightly blunts a response we want from training. Just my .02z
